FAUCET BOTTLE-WASH ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 473,947, dated May 3,1892.

Application led .Tune 19, 1891. Serial No. 396,818. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES H. MUEPHEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Madisonville, in the county of Hopkins and State ofKentucky, have invented a new and useful Faucet Bottle-lVasher, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in bottle-washers, the object inview being to provide a combined faucet and bottle or glass washer, thesame being adapted to thoroughly wash various sizes of bottles, glasses,tum blers, dto., or to be used as an ordinary faucet.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear,and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in theclaims.

Referring to the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of a combined faucetand bottlewasher. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section. Fig. 3 is adetail in perspective of the bottle or glass receiving funnel or rest.

Like numerals of reference indicate like parts in all the figures of thedrawings.

l designates an ordinary faucet, such as usually employed above theordinary domestic sink, which latter I have deemed it unnecessary toshow, and said faucet is operated by the usual handle or lever 2,whereby the water may be let on or cut oif. At the inner end of thefaucet l there is connected by means of screw-threads 3 orotherwise ashort pipe-section 1i, the rear end of which is provided with threadsand adapted for connec tion with the usual supply-pipe. In other words,the pipe 4 is detachably connected to and is interposed between the rearend of the faucet and the supply-pipe. The pipe e 4is of inverted-Tshape in that it is provided with an upwardly-disposed or verticalbranch 5, which branch has its upper end threaded, as at 6, and belowthe same is provided with a eut-off 7, operated by an ordinary key 8,the T connection being integral or screwed to gether, as desired. A cap9 is threaded on the upper end of the branch 5 and has projectingupwardly therefrom a reduced conical nipple lO. From points around thenipple there extends upwardly from the capa series of divergingstandards ll, which at their upper ends support aninverted-funnel-shaped rest 12, the opening 13 in the bottom of which isdirectly above and in line with the upper reduced discharge end of thenipple 10. The

conical-shaped rest is provided with a lip le, which lip and the upperend of the rest are surrounded by an L-shaped flange 15.

In operation if it be desired to employ the device for rinsing orwashing bottles, jars, tumblers, dac., the faucet l is closed and thebottle or other article which it is desired to wash is inverted and hasits lower end introduced into the conical rest. The key 8 is then turnedso as to operate the cut-off and a fine stream or jet of water havingconsideralole force is ejected by the nipple into the inverted bottle ortumbler, as the case may be, the water after passing into the tumblerbeing discharged from the same into the conical rest and flowing outthrough the opening 13 and down into the sink above which the faucet isusually mounted. By closing the cuto 7 the faucet operates in the usualmanner.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. The herein-describedbottle and glass washer, the same consisting of a reduced nipple adaptedto be applied to a water-supply pipe, a cap for supporting the nipple,standards extending upwardly from the cap, and an inverted-coneshapedrest having an opening at-its bottom in line with the nipple andsupported by the standards of the cap, substantially as specified.

2. The herein-described combined bottle and glass washer, consisting ofthe T-shaped pip e, the horizontal branch of which is adapted forconnection with a faucet and water-sup ply pipe and the upper end ofwhich is provided with a cap from which rises a dischargenipple,standards projecting from the cap, and an inverted-cone-shaped restmounted in the standards and having an opening at its lower end abovethe nipple, substantially as specified.

3. The herein-described combined bottle and glass washer, the sameconsisting of the T-shaped pipe, the lower branch of which is adaptedfor connection with a supply-pipe and a faucet, a cap threaded on theupper end of the upper branch, a cut-off located below the cap in saidbranch, diverging 4standards IOC mounted on the cap, a reduced nippeextendmy own I have hereto afxed my signature in ing from the capbetween the standards, and presence of two Witnesses. theinverted-cone-shaped rest having an openi i T ing at tslower end, a lipat one side, a sur- CHARLES H' MURPHE' 5 rounding L-shaped flange,andmounted upon Vtnesses:
